Hi,
I'm looking to add a full width extension to a terrace property to create a kitchen diner. As part of this I want to add a toilet under the stairs (nicking a bit of the existing kitchen to accommodate the WC as there are various meters under the stairs currently).
FYI you enter the property at the front into the hallway, here you have the stairs on the right side of the hallway, the doors to front and back downstairs rooms to the left, and straight ahead is the door to the current kitchen. When the toilet has been added I am expecting the current kitchen door to be moved slightly further into the current kitchen to accommodate. In the new kitchen, which will run into the extension, the plan is to have a run of units on the right have side immediately as you enter, right down to the new exterior wall directly ahead, dead ahead as you enter there will be a window at the end of the room with a sink and a few more units along the back wall coming in from the right.
My main concern is that we will need to add an extractor fan into to downstairs toilet, but this will be approx 4-5m away from the exterior wall with potentially nowhere to hide the extraction pipe (apart from boxed in above the kitchens wall units). We are planning for the roof to be a flat roof, therefore hiding the pipe in the roof isn't an option (I don't believe, and it would still require boxing in until it reached the new extension anyway, where it could potentially be vented through the roof). I've done a few rough sketches with the current set up and what I want the space to look like - is there another way to run this extractor pipe or is above the wall units the only solution?
Thanks in advance for any help!
